Oil production in major Gulf Arab exporters dropped sharply in March amid the Iran war, with Iraq's output collapsing 61%, Kuwait's down 53%, UAE's down 44%, and Saudi Arabia's falling 23%, according to OPEC. The decline is due to disruptions in exports through the Strait of Hormuz, including attacks on key pipelines. Gulf states face months-long recovery to restore full production capacity. Meanwhile, Iran's output slightly decreased by 5%, but it continues exports despite a new U.S. naval blockade. These disruptions have pushed U.S. and Brent crude oil prices back above $90-$100 per barrel, reflecting tight global supply concerns.
